Hello,
I don't have a lot of feedback on the other proposals, but this one caught my eye:

Jenner. The sudden news sparked activity on Caitlyn's Wikipedia page. See how editors responded and follow the story today. [link]
The first sentence is problematic; it uses the wrong name, the wrong pronoun ("his") and reduces the male-to-female transition to a mere "name change". We must not post this.
Regarding the other proposals, I would favor saying "Wikipedians" or "Wikipedia editors" instead of "Wikipedia" when saying "Wikipedia responded", to make it clear the people who responded are volunteer editors. It's more organic and human than "Wikipedia".
Thank you for writing the story.
